Omanyte (Japanese: オムナイト Omnite) is a dual-type Rock/Water Pokémon.

It is resurrected from a Helix Fossil and then evolves into Omastar starting at level 40.

Biology

Physiology

Omanyte has a large, pale-yellow shell on its back. Its main body is sky-blue with 10 tentacles (two of them are longer than the other eight). Omanyte has saucer-like eyes. Omanyte uses the many gas filled chambers in their helix shell to remain buoyant in the water column. They regulate their height by evacuating gases from compartments.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Omanyte learns several Water-based moves and a small handful of Template:Type2 moves. Unlike many Rock-types, Omanyte cannot learn Earthquake.

Behavior

Omanyte swims by twisting its ten tentacles about. If attacked by an enemy, it withdraws itself inside its hard shell.

Habitat

The exact habitat of Omanyte is unknown even though there have been records of Omanyte hiding deep in damp caves, but so far Helix Fossils are only found in the Kanto and Sinnoh regions.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Unlike its evolved form, Omastar, this Pokémon feeds on plankton in the wild.
